What use to be once a heavy amount of cruising traffic here ended around 1999, when they had several gay-bashings in the neighborhood. Since then, at the request of residents in the area, there is HEAVY POLICE PRESENCE, both uniformed and civilian-clothed officers who are present far before 10:00 p.m. As of late, there is hardly any cruising going on here -- I frequent the area and have seen absolutely NO SIGN of cruising in this neighborhood. Use common sense if you decide to give this area a try.

I've met some of the hottest Greek and Latino men at this park. Lately undercovers have been busting anyone in the park after 10pm. Stay on the sidewalk out front till you know it's clear, then go in.
